I'm on it about a week and finally yes all my workstations are able to 
change their passwords (both windows and microsoft networking one)
after reading 3 month of mailing-list I took every good things of them 
and putted them in my samba.conf

maybe there is something related to the password chat syntax.
generally it will be:
* passwd chat = *old password* %o\n *new password* %n\n *new password* 
%n\n *changed**
on RedHat try :*
passwd chat =  *new password* %n\n *new password* %n\n *updated**

but really, i'm not sure it have an impact.

this will have a big importance (i think so) the localhost and your subnet
hosts allow  = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
be sure that
encrypt password = Yes
update encrypted = No
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwrd %u
unix password sync = Yes

maybe that
password level = 4
will also help.

with this it must work ;) trust me
